Kansas City has long been a standout destination for real estate investors, offering an excellent blend of affordability, opportunity, and long-term growth potential. As a real estate professional, investor, and broker with Upside Property Services, I've seen firsthand how this market consistently delivers exceptional results for those seeking long-term, cash-flowing investments.

With a focus on residential properties, particularly single-family homes, Kansas City provides an ideal environment for investors to build cash flow. These investments are not only easier to manage but also present an unmatched opportunity for creative strategies like seller financing—a game-changing approach for both investors and property owners. Seller financing allows investors to secure consistent cash flow while bypassing many of the challenges of traditional rental operations.

At Upside Property Services, we specialize in helping investors acquire and sell residential properties, utilizing time-tested strategies to maximize returns. Whether you're an experienced investor or just starting, our experience and guidance helps ensure that your investments are aligned with what has worked well over the long run.

But here’s the kicker: Kansas City isn’t just a great place to invest—it’s also an incredible place to live. The city offers a thriving economy, a growing population, and one of the most affordable housing markets in the U.S. Combine this with its central location and vibrant culture, and you have a recipe for sustainable, long-term growth.

Not interested in owning real estate but want to place capital more passively? We work with private lenders and capital investors who want to loan money on real estate—an excellent way to earn strong returns secured by tangible assets. This approach offers a lower-risk path to participate in Kansas City's booming real estate market.

Whether you’re looking to buy & hold, loan capital, or explore seller financing strategies, I’d love to connect with you. Let’s discuss how Kansas City’s real estate market and our proven systems can help you build a future of financial freedom.

Let’s build something great—together! 💼💡

Check out my latest YouTube video.  In this week's session I talk about the fundamentals for real estate investors. What are the basics of real estate investing? Let's get down to nuts & bolts for a better understanding of the process.

First off, are you planning to Purchase and Resell or Buy and Hold? Will you be using straight cash, short-term funding, or long-term financing? That's really it... In a nutshell.

Here's the sauce for most of the budding investors out there:

1. Access to capital (funding & financing)

2. Gameplan (investment strategy or model)

3. Working through renovation projects (patience & extra capital)

4. Continue getting reps in (persistence)

5. Executing on the vision (resilience & stick-to-itiveness)

As both a seasoned investor and a real estate agent specializing in investment property sales and operations, I’ve been noticing an interesting shift in the Kansas City market. More properties are sitting on the market a little longer, and I’m seeing an increase in foreclosures and distressed properties. While these situations are unfortunate, they also present unique opportunities for serious investors who know how to act decisively and strategically.

I’m opening the door to a couple more investor clients who are ready, willing, and able to collaborate on exciting investment opportunities. Whether your goal is to purchase, renovate, and resell properties for profit, or to build wealth through long-term buy & hold strategies, I bring the experience, knowledge, and resources to help us succeed together.

Here’s what I bring to the table:
✔️ Over a decade of experience in real estate investment and operations.
✔️ Strong network of contractors, lenders, and industry professionals.
✔️ Expertise in identifying and analyzing properties that align with your goals.
✔️ A collaborative mindset and a proven track record in joint venture partnerships.

This isn’t just about buying houses—it’s about creating long-term success and sustainable wealth through smart real estate investments. If you’re a serious investor looking to take advantage of today’s opportunities, let’s talk about how we can collaborate to achieve your goals.

📩 Message me to schedule a consultation and let’s explore how we can make the most of the opportunities in today’s market!

As 2024 comes to a close, I'm reflecting on the incredible journey this year has been and the exciting vision ahead. Over the years, I've worn many hats in the real estate world—sales, property management, renovation oversight, and, most importantly, as an operator and investor. These experiences have given me a well-rounded perspective and the skills to navigate the dynamic real estate market in Kansas City.

Through joint venture partnerships, I’ve been fortunate to grow my portfolio and help others achieve their investment goals. My primary focus has been on buy & hold investments—crafting long-term strategies that deliver consistent cash flow and security for my partners.

But here’s the next chapter:
I recognize the growing appetite among investors for short-term opportunities—projects that build capital, hone skills, and create momentum for larger investments. That’s why I’m opening the door to purchase, renovation, and resale collaborations with like-minded partners who are ready to make an impact in Kansas City’s thriving market.

🔑 What I Bring to the Table:

• Proven experience managing projects from acquisition to exit.
• A deep network of local resources, from contractors to lenders.
• A solid track record in joint ventures—focused on transparency, strategy, and mutual success.

🛠️ What I’m Looking For:

• Capital partners seeking smart, secure investments.
• Ambitious professionals ready to collaborate on projects with a strong ROI potential.
• Investors eager to combine long-term wealth-building with short-term gains through strategic real estate plays.

Kansas City has endless opportunities for those with the vision and drive to take action. I’m here to help navigate the market, mitigate risk, and ensure every project thrives.

This week on my YouTube channel, I dive into three ways to invest in real estate more passively—and tackle the misconceptions surrounding what it really takes to make it work.

I mention the three main facets of a real estate investing business, again:
✅ Capital – The fuel that powers your deals.
✅ Operations – The systems that make it sustainable.
✅ Strategy – The game plan that turns your vision into a reality.

More importantly, I share how investors can combine these elements efficiently to build a business that works with them, not against them.

As a real estate broker and investor in the vibrant Kansas City market, I’ve witnessed firsthand how creative real estate strategies, especially seller finance transactions, have changed the game. From tired landlords to exhausted house flippers, there’s been a growing need to recoup capital, reduce headaches, and boost steady cash flow for the long run. And it’s not just about investors—homeowners have seen incredible benefits, too!

💬 Here’s the reality: With the evolving economy, traditional strategies like fix & flips and managing rental properties have become more challenging. That’s why many are turning to seller financing as a smart and profitable exit plan. Imagine exiting a property without dealing with tenant issues, while still generating income!
